The ' SURVEY OF WHITBY Business District Progress Essential | Revitalization and expan- sion of the town's Central Business District is essential if the local merchants are to survive, University of To- ronto students suggested fol- lowing a survey and study of the community, They said co- ordination of public and pri- vate efforts will be necessary to establish a definite link be- tween the businessman and the public. In this article, No. 13 in the series, some of the points of consideration are discussed. WHITBY (Staff) -- The Cen-| tral Business District must be) revitalized and, in addition, con-| sideration must also be given to development of commercial facilities in neighzorhood areas within the town. On the other hand, ribbon highway develop- ment should be discouraged. Taking a long look at the cen- tral businese district, it is noted, there are definite areas of mis- use and low development. 'The commercial function as such, is) concentrated along two main arteries, Brock and Dundas sts The students suggest that little or no development is ap- parent in these sections and advise, a blight area lies within the 'core' district of the busi-! ness area and outer frame. The! district presently is neither at-| tracitve nor convenient for the shoppers. It may be noted however, that since this report and study has been made, the Whitby Cham- ber of Commerce has instigated a program of revitalization.) The Chamber is currently spon-| soring the re-painting of puild-| lions of words could be written on the advantages of off-street parking but, if something isn't done soon the central business district is in actuality, doomed. Off-street parking is a. defi- nite 'must', it could easily be described as the life blood of the local businessmen. Without this convenience for the motor- ing public, the pendulum of public support and patronage will swing more and more away from the downtown area. |AIMS, OBJECTIVES The aims and objectives of a redevelopment program are almost self-explanatory: --To revitalize the existing central business district mak- ing it a focal point for social, --Economical viability of the central business district; --Improving the central busi- ness' district from a more at- tractive and convenient stand- point, drawing both the local and ever increasing tourist traf- fic. At the moment, the tourist traffic coming off the Mac- donald-Cartier Freeway for in- stance, passes through the heart of town without pause. Revolu- tionary changes in the layout of the CBD, could quite possibly hold much of the tourist traffic which is invariably heading through town to northern points of interest. In the next article, No. 14, suggestions and recommenda- tions for a general policy of re- | cultural and business life of the community; development of the central busi- ness district will be made. 'Count Only Three, Four French Africa Countries UNITED. NATIONS (AP)-- Only three or four of the dozen or so French African countries seem likely to vote with France to seat Communist China in the United Nations this year. That as much as anything is expected to prevent a majority in the General Assembly in fa- vor of replacing the Chinese Nationalists with the Chinese Communists on UN bodies. The assembly will vote on the issue in late October or early November. Delegates who have studied the outlook carefully figure that the margin against jseating Communist China. may |say Chinese Communist tactics That aroused speculation that most of the French African countries would switch, too, and give the Chinese Commu- nists a majority. But some students of voting probabilities now believe that only the Central African Repub- lic, The Congo (Brazzaville), Mauretania and perhaps Sene- gal will make the switch.

And most of them took advantage of it. Motorists proved particularly vulnerable and by late Monday, which marked the end of the three-day Thanksgiving week- end, the nation's road toll at 81 had exceeded the 57 deaths pre- dicted by the Canadian High- way Safety Council, Highway congestion reached its peak Monday with people out for aft- Andy Williams Slips Off Stool NEW YORK (AP)--Andy Wil- liams slipped off his stool in mid-show. NBC's weekly Andy' Williams Show shown Monday night is taped, usually several weeks before we see it on our screens. It would have been fairly easy to have re-taped the sequence with guest Bob Hope in which Andy lost his balance and dropped momentarily out of sight. They did not choose to re-tape, however. We've been watching singers and guest stars cli b up on high stools at least once in each variety show ever since Dave Garroway started the whole thing in Chicago. A pair of high stools, set in stage centre, has come to mean that it is time for the star and his guest to engage in some in- formal, caréfully- written and well-rehearsed persiflage lead- ing up to a song. The Williams show, incident- ally remains one of the most handsome color programs, but after a couple of seasons that predictable format could do with a little revision. The first national ratings of the new television season, re- leased Monday by the A. C. Nielsen company put CBS' Lucy Show in sixth place. Thus it ap- It was all broad comedy-- Lucy with her heel caught, Lucy putting a banana cream pie in a washing machine with the laundry, Lucy in a too-tight dress trying to hide under a table. She is still the best come- dienne in the television busi- ness but the shows seemed to move faster and smoother when she was surrounded by her old playmates, Or maybe it was just an off night, Those Nielsen ratings, cover- ing the two-week period ending Sept. 26, has the three most popular programs of last sea- son still on the top of the list-- NBC's Bonanza .ABC's Be. witched and CBS' Gomer Pyle. Four new programs made the top 10--CBS' Hogan's Heroes and Green Acres and ABC's Man Called Shenandoah and F Troop. The top 10, incident- ally, consisted of eight come- dies and two westerns.
